My boss just had to ban Pokémon Go because all of our employees walked out yesterday to find a Squirtle.

Unless your workplace is also a gym, I see no problem.

He's trying to wheedle his way into your good graces after that debacle.

How tf can he ban a game? He can't delete from their phones.

Or OP can at least give a written warning, so other employees will know that the boss is serious.

I'm with #9 on this one. There are plenty of acceptable reasons to be late; "I stood outside playing Pokemon GO for 20 minutes" isn't one of them. Two minutes I could let slide, but not 20.

I think I've been an hour late twice now due to grabbing Pokemon in my neighborhood before I started work. Of course, the game has only been out for two work days...
